"As a marketer who is obsessed with brand, culture and data, I couldn’t be more excited about joining Daily Harvest," said Yee. "With Rachel’s vision, the opportunity could not be more clear. I can’t wait to get started."

Yee was the executive vice president of marketing and strategy at Refinery29, leading marketing for eight years.
